En. Patil et al., PRODUCTIVITY, ECONOMIC VIABILITY AND ENERGY OUTPUT OF RAINY-SEASON CROP AND DESI COTTON (GOSSYPIUM-ARBOREUM) UNDER RAIN-FED CONDITIONS, Indian Journal of Agronomy, 41(2), 1996, pp. 306-310
An experiment was conducted during 1988-93 to study productivity, econ
omic viability and energy output of different rainy-season crops in co
mparison with desi cotton (Gossypium arboreum L.). Intercropping of 'C
SH 9' sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] + 'No. 148' pigeonpea [Caj
anus cajan (L.) Millsp.] sole 'JL 24' groundnut (Arachis hypogoea L.)
and that of 'ICTP 8203' pearl miller [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br. e
mend. stuntz.] + 'No. 148' pigeonpea were found highly remunerative an
d energy-producing crops, in order of sequence, and could be the alter
natives for replacing 'Y-1' G. arboreum under scarcity condition of Dh
ule Region.
